All the churches of Johnstown paid more

t- the disaster. Collections were lifted in
many for the benefit of the bereft families
of the poorer victims. Special masses were
said in tne Catholic churches.
The afternoon was devoted to funerals.
Incessantly processions moved out and
along Chestnut street toward the Catholic
cemetery, near MorrellvlIIe.
The funeral of Hike Sabot, one of the
conspicuous self-sacrificing heroes of the
disaster, took place from St Mary's Ger

The large church was packed with
friends and those who did not know the
little dead fellow, but who had heard the
noble ttory of his achievement, which
brought him glory, but only at the expense
of his life.
Sabot was about 17 jears old. He was
a trap bos. and knew the mine like a book.
He was out at the mouth of one of the
headings when the explosion came. He
found himself unscathed, and Immediately

Sagamore Hill The edifice was thronsed
wltn peop'e. and Mrs. Itoosevelx and the
children were given a cordial reception by
their neighbors and friend.
The rector, the Reverend IVoctor Wash
burn, made an Indirect reference to the as
sassination t of Mr. McKinley by basing his
sermon upon the last words of the late
President: "Thy will, not ours, will be
done."
One of the Important question divis-ed
by the President and Secretary Root was
that relating to Governor Taft'i negotiations
witli the Vatican respecting the Philippine
friar".
Both Mr. Rootevelt and the Secretary of
War deem It unwise that the friaM should
remain In the archipelago with the prestige
they now possess. The attitude the frlar-i
!'vume Is regarded not only as a nietui-o
to the peace of the Islands, but uImj as an
obstruction to their government and to the
civilization of their Inhabitants.
Will Take- n Strung stand.
Xn statement of tlje conclusion reached
by the President and Secretary Roit couM
be obtained at Sagamore Hill, but. unof
ficially. It 1 understood that a note Is being
drafted in response to that transmitted bv
the Pope through Governor Taft to the
administration.
As Governor Taft stated in the negotia
tions, it Is likely that the reply of this"
Government will be sent to the Vatican
authorities through him.
Ample assurance Is given that the United
States will take strong ground in support
of Its contention that the friars must be
eliminated from the Philippines equator.
It is said that no official statement of any
phasc of the situation will be made public
until the negotiations with the Vatican
have been concluded, and that then the an
nouncement will be made from Washington.
